A simulation showing a grazing giant impact between a massive object and the young Uranus. Research led by Durham University, UK, confirms that a massive object roughly twice the size of Earth hit Uranus about 4 billion years ago and caused the planet's unusual tilt. The collision could explain Uranus' freezing temperatures. The clock in the top left of the animation shows hours since the start of simulation. Credit: Jacob Kegerreis/Durham University

It was dark. Everybody was drinking. Things got kind of out of hand.

Wow, what was left of the object came back for a second shot at Uranus 25 hours after the first impact and came back for a THIRD shot at 31 hours. It finally gave up at that point.

Somebody should ask Sheila Jackson Lee if anybody was able to survive those brutal impacts. She is an expert on human travels in the solar system.

Uranus was hit by a massive object roughly twice the size of Earth that caused the planet to tilt and could explain its freezing temperatures ...

I have a more scientific explanation for its freezing temperatures ...

It's a long way from the sun ...

Remember, you’re only old once but can be immature indefinitely!
